Fundamentals and practical applications of hierarchically-structured bulk materials. Structured bulk materials are very promosing for process intensification. By using structured bulk materials instead of fine particles, this project will have the opportunity to realise hydrogen or methane storage at very low pressure, and significantly speed up the production of alternative transport fuels from syn gas.

Summary
Integrated thin film facility for catalysis and energy materials research. This project aims to establish thin film fabrication with catalytic/gas sorption characterisation needed for energy research. This project will overcome current limitations in advanced energy materials design via wet chemical methods. It will enable materials synthesis and characterisation toward thermal/photo/electro-catalytic, hydrogen storage, and battery technologies. The facility is expected to drive fundamental conc ....Integrated thin film facility for catalysis and energy materials research. This project aims to establish thin film fabrication with catalytic/gas sorption characterisation needed for energy research. This project will overcome current limitations in advanced energy materials design via wet chemical methods. It will enable materials synthesis and characterisation toward thermal/photo/electro-catalytic, hydrogen storage, and battery technologies. The facility is expected to drive fundamental concepts, and enable combinatorial search and new thin film technology. It is anticipated that this facility will increase Australia’s international competitiveness in the development of advanced energy materials.Read moreRead less
